Two DailyKos diaries have made the Recommended List today, asking Kos to expand the Netroots Candidate List.

I suspect that Kos (and Bowers, and Stoller, and DavidNYC) may have his/their reasons for wanting to limit the Netroots Candidates in number. I suspect that it probably has something to do with wanting to focus the contributions of the Netroots around a few candidates carefully chosen for maximum impact - so that on November 8, they can cite a few carefully chosen candidates where the Netroots made a difference. I can understand that.

This, of course, shouldn't stop us from contributing to whomever the hell we want to.

I have carefully reviewed the diaries of Alegre and Aeolus and added every single Congressional candidate recommended in the comments section of both diaries to my ActBlue page. My inclusion criteria were simple. Any Congressional candidate recommended in the comments section of either diary were included. My exclusion criteria were similarly simple: Netroots Candidates were excluded. I also didn't include state-level candidates (with the exception of Brian Keeler), out of sheer size of the list.

The result is a sprawling, difficult to manage list. I could care less. Find your candidate and give until it hurts.
